Beyond Work
Linda also enjoys being mum to two young daughters who keep her busy and entertained in her spare time. She has an appreciation for this lived experience which has given her a front row seat in understanding child development and early childhood learning. Fun fact: Linda is an avid world traveller and once spent 5 months backpacking around South America, attempting to learn Spanish. She looks forward to travelling again one day.
